@emjot Other games have tried to introduce a system like this in the past and sadly they haven’t gone down well. In theory they work great, but in practice, players blacklist players they deem to be too good to play against or are cheating. Sooner or later the top players are mostly blacklisted and find it incredibly hard to find matches. Rinse and repeat and after a month or two the feature gets removed.

Trolling is a difficult issue to resolve. Why can’t people just not be dicks? I mean, it’s our bloody catchphrase as well.

Well, just to clarify, Don’t be a Dick is relative to people on your team. You should be an absolute jerk when defending the objective, push them back into their spawn, yanno?

I have seen such a feature only on some X MMORPG game(feature I’m more or less talking about), if I put someone on ignore list, then I’m safe from going on raid/instance with him as my teammate.

I’m not worried about top players or cheaters. My main concern is to play with people who are absolutely zombie style. The thing is, sometimes even one player can decide if the match will be easy or no, if we win or lose.

Problem is, I don’t want to play with people who are … how to put in words… stupid? That annoys me the most. I’m fine with ragers, trolls, but when I know we could win something, and we lost just because this guy has IQ level below my cat’s IQ then… well.

And once again: blacklisting certain player = he won’t be on YOUR team, you can still be matched with him, but as your enemy. I had to explain it again, 4 people so far liked your post, but you guys still missing the whole point.

I will be happy in the queue if I know he won’t by my teammate.

Ranked should be more competitive, more strategy focused game. 2 skyhammers on Underground with Aimee - bleh. And I still get that people on silver master.

Ahh ok. I missed the bit about your team. In that case what I said works in completely the other way. Anyone you deem not good enough to play with you could be blacklisted, leaving you left to play with only people better than you, essentially meaning you can forcibly get yourself carried. Until those higher players blacklist you for not being at their level.

Yeah, with long list it could be abused that way. Let’s say you can blacklist only $some amount of players, not everyone. Only those who annoys u the most? It’s all matter of discussion and tweaking ground idea.
